In
the Footsteps of Stamford Raffles
Stamford
Raffles is that rarest of things — a colonial
figure who is forgotten at home but still remembered

A 700-Year History

we really not have an economically-viable trading port
during the pre-colonial times? How then is this possible
conjecture of Singapore being a thriving emporium pre-1819
being juxtaposed and/or correlated to our present day
context of being a global city?........more
